Award-winning distillers, Manchester Gin, have announced its second Stay Home Tasting Experience for gin-lovers to enjoy from the comfort of their living room.
After its first sell out virtual tasting, Manchester Gin is continuing to make Saturday nights in a little more fun, the interactive experience allows gin drinkers from Manchester and beyond to experience the distillery’s 5* rated guided tasting without stepping outside.
Since opening its public distillery in September last year, Manchester Gin has welcomed thousands of people through its doors to drink, dine and distil in its impressive Grade-II listed arches in the heart of Manchester.
The Spirit of Manchester Distillery, home to Manchester Gin and premium cocktail bar and restaurant Three Little Words, is rated the ‘Number One Thing to Do in Manchester’ on TripAdvisor after just six short months launching due to its immersive guided tours and gin-making classes.
The one-hour “Stay Home” tasting experience will be live streamed on Manchester Gin’s social channels on Saturday 25th April at 20:00 for gin-lovers to tune in and learn about the process and botanicals behind their internationally recognised range.
Founders and Master Distillers, Seb Heeley and Jen Wiggins, will lead the tasting, which gives viewers an insight at the brand’s history and its award-winning products.
The Ultimate Stay Home Gin Tasting Experience can be purchased from Manchester Gin’s website and includes four 50ml bottles of gin, four perfectly paired tonics, two custom Manchester Gin glasses and two tasting guide sheets, which includes tasting notes for each gin.
The set is available for £40 (with a retail value of £48) and includes enough for two people to partake in the tasting – or four delicious double G&Ts.
For those who already have a healthy selection of the Manchester Gin range, the live stream can be accessed for free, and viewers will be able to submit questions about their favourite gins, the perfect pairings and cocktail ideas.
“In the current climate, we’re having to adapt in order to stay close to our customers, but this is a really exciting thing for us to do. We hope we can help ward off some boredom and have some fun with gin-lovers from around the world!
Our gin experiences have been incredibly popular since we opened the distillery in September, so we thought it would be an apt time to try that in a new format.
The first virtual tasting was such a success and we enjoyed hosting it so much that we simply had to arrange a second. One of the reasons we wanted to host experiences in the first place was to meet our drinkers face-to-face, and while current circumstances have definitely changed what that means right now, it’s lovely to be able to offer something a bit different in order to interact with people.”
